Perl

Perl is a scripting language which borrows much of its syntax from
command-line interfaces such as the Bourne shell. It was one of
the first programming languages to become really popular for backend
web development.

But if you can psychologically overcome all of that — perhaps with the
aid of some sort of nuclear-powered ninja weaponry — Perl's not that
bad. Unlike C++, it has garbage collection. It has
anonymous function closures (unlike PHP,)
and they can consist of more than one expression (unlike Python.) And
things like use strict at least smell like an attempt to approach some
sort of trying to permit, I don't know, enforcing discipline, or
something, if you think that would help.
